    Yeah safe as a house lol
    
    Once rush steps into he's office MON will be gone. I'm pretty sure he's still in England at the moment, should be here in the few weeks.
    
    MON will be gone by Xmas

  Samrani starts over Schiller.

    At centre maybe, but I reckon Schiller is probably a better winger. It probably depends what happens with Simonsson. Or Kelly. Is there any chance he goes back to centre?

      Obviously at Centre as that's where he put him. Schiller is a better Winger.
      
      I doubt Kelly or Simonsson go to Centre. It will more likely be Penisini and Samrani starting Centres.

        It might depend what happens in the pre-season. If Schiller outperforms Samrani, we might see Simonsson or Kelly move to centre.

    Samrami isn't a centre. He's just a fill in

      Samrani has played more games at centre in his senior career than every other position put together.

        Only because of injuries to our starting centres. Not because he pushed a starting player out with.form

"Yep. Samrani far outplayed Russell at centre in attack, though his defence wasn't as good. But also, guaranteed starters would get pai a fair bit more than fringe first graders, who get paid more than backups. If we already have Penisini on the…"

"Alot of people unhappy with this signing he is a good winger who came cheap he isn't a world beater but will definitely do a job if this keep cap space free for a big singing or 2 it's a great signing if we sign Noone then it's terrible let's just…"
